I think, tigergirl, you were sensing too that if you have a sense of humor & hook up with a T who does also, this can work as a tool in therapy?

It does. I struck gold with my new T. He's got something along the same lines of weird humor that I have ... We stop mid-sentence sometimes & look sideways at each other to be sure it's okay to say what we're about to say. So far it has been.
